The jury isn't out for me, i've had 10 minutes of playing with it so far.

With the store demo though there were 8 tabs open, none reloaded :D

Are we satisfied at last from this perspective?
 
After about an hour or so...I'm highly impressed. A9 is a huge leap over the A8.
 
I have been waiting for this since I first got the 6+. on the 6S+, I am expericing no lag, no constant app reloading, no safari refreshes. AT. LONG. LAST.
 
This phone... Reminds me of why I have an iPhone...
ItS BLAZING fast! And its something you won't understand until you actually use the phone..

As A10 will be a huge leap over A9. It goes without saying.
Actually not really. The A8 wasn't a huge leap over the A7. With new iPhones (non-S cycle) the CPU performance isn't increased nearly as much as with S-cycle iPhones (see A6->A7 with the 5 to 5S and A8->A9 with the 6 to 6S). With non-S cycle iPhones the emphasis should lie on the new design more than the performance. With the S iterations that's a non-issue since the phone will look nearly identical.
 
So far I am loving this phone. It is fast fast fast. Touch ID is crazy fast. Now to watch the battery life. I don't think it will be an issue.
 
Is it just me or is the vibrate motor much stronger. I like it as my phone is on vibrate most often.

Is that so? I wonder why. ;-) Seriously though, that is an improvement in those cases I have my phone vibrate on my bed while I sleep. Should grab my attention much quicker when someone calls me. I'm still waiting for mine, but mine switched to preparing for shipment, so it shouldn't be much longer now.

I'm angry. Apple should give me a 6S+ for selling me a subpar 6+ with insufficient RAM. I want no app refreshes, no tab reloading in Safari. For $900, I think I should have received that.
Why would they, the tech didn't exist yet. Your fault for not waiting. I've been wanting to upgrade my phone for over a year now and decided to wait for the 6s. It was definitely well worth the wait.
 
The tech didn't exist yet? You mean to say 2GB of RAM didn't exist a year ago? :eek:
Not for the iPhone. When you drop the money for a cool toy, it is your responsibility to know what you're getting. If you didn't want it, you should just wait until something better comes along like I did. :p

You can never - ever - use the store demos as "testing". 99% of the time it's the network not the phone.

I get the new iPhone every year, one step ahead of you friend. ;)

This is my first iPhone and I haven't experienced any lag on the 6S Plus. The Touch ID recognizes in half a second. 3D Touch and flipping through apps I haven't had any lag whatsoever.
